Abstract:
With the advent of nanotechnology, the importance of studying and developing new nanostructured materials and their combinations is evident. Graphene is currently the focus of several technologies due to its excellent properties, which enable its use in several applications, be they supercapacitors, biomaterials, antibacterial materials, solar cells, batteries, etc. As it is a material of amphiphilic character, its combination with other nanomaterials provides new attributes, as well as the achievement of desired properties. Ferrites, as well as copper ferrite, have ferrimagnetic properties, storage, antimicrobial, biocompatible in addition beging a ecofriendly low impact on the environment, being ideal candidates for evaluation and enduring synergistically with graphene. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate, by FTIR, a copper ferrite nanocomposite based on reduced graphene oxide. In this study, it is possible to observe the presence of both copper and iron, as well as the confirmation of the reduction of graphene oxide.
